[QUOTE="Admin, post: 57497, member: 1"] Pyramid Head, who is arguably the most terrifying and iconic villain from the Silent Hill franchise, was inspired by an unlikely source: a background character in Bracveheart. Silent Hill 2 director Masahiro Ito recemt;y took to [URL='https://twitter.com/adsk4/status/1580473967949008896?t=rLu968eQrBe_cp_0k9kgPg&s=19']Twitter[/URL] to share that the "inspiration for the background of Pyramid Head from [Silent Hill 2] as the executioner. From a film Braveheart." Ito began designing Pyramid Head based on that Braveheart character, and he continued to refine the look by referencing other films and books where people put bags on their head and he "came up with the idea of an executioner of the old town." Ito also quote-tweeted a post he shared in 2017 of some of the oil and acrylic paints he made during his time as an art student. The four he shared were from his 'Strange Head' series and were created between 1993 and 1996. The first image in the Tweet below is of note as it was another inspiration for Pyramid Head.
